Today after a long nap walk, Becky laid down with Evan to help him stay asleep after transferring him from the stroller to his bed. About five minutes later, Evan sat up and said, “Mommy, I can’t sleep. I’m awake because my eyes are open.”

One of Evan’s favorite phrases right now is “OK Mommy!”
He says it when he has decided to do something, and he says “OK Mommy!” with a little attitude, like “I’m doing this, do you have some sort of problem with that?”

The other morning we all woke up and Evan had daddy sit on the couch next to him, then he told Mommy to sit too. Mommy said, “I need to go to the bathroom first, then I’ll come sit next to you, ok.” Evan sighed and said, “Oh my gosh.”

I don’t know where he picked that one up! I tried really hard not to laugh, but could only contain myself for a few seconds.

It’s Mine Time. Credit goes to preschool, they even gave us a copy of the toddler’s creed at his first teacher’s conference. So, he doesn’t share quite as well as he used to, but it is probably a good developmental milestone. He needs to know that some things are his and he deserves a turn with shared toys, etc. He will still share sometimes, but he definitely knows how to say, “It’s Mine!’

Daddy had to work late on Tuesday and missed the bedtime routine and Evan didn’t exactly go to sleep with Mommy putting him down, so he was still up past 9:30 pm, when Daddy got home. The next night, after our goodnight song and right before we say goodnight to Mommy and head to bed, Evan said, “Go to work, Daddy.”
